Hurricane Rita and gas prices

[manny78]

If Rita really follows this path, then you might pay your gas, 5$/gallon....

our gas went down here and then shot right back up again...not as high as after katrina but getting close

Hey Manny, what's really a puzzle is the huge spikes here in Canada.

Dude, you need to choose better your neighbors

I checked this morning and gas price was still the same (around 1.09$/L). 5$/gallon would mean like 1.75$/L. That would have an impact on everyone, including public transportation.

$1.35 a litre would be about equivalent to $5 a gallon. $1.09 is about $4.10 a gallon. I was referring to the effect Katrina had on our gas prices and the potential effect Rita could have. Canada is an exporter, why are we being raped for this?

yAY....MORE Profits for the oil barrons.

I'm in the wrong business

Refineries can't keep up with the demand. Crude oil is not the problem. It's like a domino, one of the major player can't produce it's part, then the others get scared. But yeah, in some way we get assraped.

Oh and here we paid 1.35L when the gallon was at 4$, so just picture the price when it hits 5$...

the big difference between katrina and rita as far as the gas prices is this. i dont believe the refineries shut down prior to the storm hitting.

whereas here, all the refineries shut down yesterday so production stopped. texas has the most refineries in the nation. i suggest filling up and not going anywhere for two weeks.
